Referring specifically to the drawings, b denotes two flat spring-metalstrips, which extend side by side through a transverse slot f, made inthe horizontal arm /t of a bracket, the wall-piece of which is indicatedat J and the brace at K. The strips extend outwardly a suitable distancefrom the arm on both sides thereof and form the jaws of a resilientclasp. The extremities of the strips are curved out- Wardly.I as at b',to permit the ready insertion of the garment or other articletherebetween.

On each side of the slot f and extending parallel thereto are slots a,which receive spring-metal strips a. which extend outwardly from the armon both sides thereof. The outer ends of said strips bear on the stripsb and tend to press them together. The strips a and Z) are secured inthe slots by top plates c and side plates (Z, fastened to the arm lt.

In use the garment or other article 1,' is inserted between the stripsZ). as clearly shown in Figs. 2, 3. and 5, between which strips it issecurely held by the spring-pressure of the strips a.

The arm lt, which supports the holders, may be of any required size andprovided with any desired number of holders.
